Thank you guys for all the great information! Now I only have a few questions.... I realized that my computer has 4 cores... So based on your suggestions, if I assign 3 cores for my Freesurfer virtual machine, should I change the # of processors to 3 in my freesurfer virtual machine's "Setting "?
p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }
p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }
Base Memory:
6028 MB
Processors:
3
Boot Order:
Floppy, CD/DVD-ROM, Hard Disk
Acceleration:
VT-x/AMD-V, Nested PagingIs this correct? Also, if I want to run multiple freesurfer recon-all in one virtual machine, should I just open several terminals, and enter in separate commands? If I understand correctly...
Thanks Again! Catherine

Hi Catherine
it depends on how many processors you have. If you have multiple CPUs you should be fine, although you'll need at least 2G/process if not 3.

Dear All,
I was wondering if I can run several freesurfers in my virtualbox simultaneously by setting up several virtual machines...my computer has 16G RAM and it's Windows 7 64-bit. Would working multiple freesurfers at the same time slow down the calculations? Moreover, I was wondering if my computer could afford these loads...
Thanks Catherine
